The Flywheel in Action

My career didn't follow a straight line. It followed a loop — each adventure project feeding the next, each role building on skills I learned in the field.

Marketing Director · Adventurer · Creator

I grew up in the Parisian suburbs with an American father who gave me a taste for the wider world. At 16, I was wandering the streets of Chiang Mai alone. By 25, I hadn't lived 12 months in the same city. I wasn't the best student, but I discovered I had a natural ability to navigate foreign environments where others struggled.

That instinct became a system. Every adventure project I took on taught me real skills — project management, content creation, storytelling, negotiation. Skills that don't show up on a diploma but show up in results.

The Flywheel

Loop 1 — The Seed

Cambodia

First ride. No license, no gear, flip-flops. 3 weeks, 3,000km of dirt tracks with my girlfriend on the back (she had a broken foot). Pure investment, zero return. But the seed was planted.

Loop 2 — Learning the Roads

Vietnam & India

Motorcycle guide in Vietnam, solo Himalaya crossing in India. I learned the roads, the cultures, built confidence. Proved I could handle extreme solo trips.

Loop 3 — The Breakthrough

Australia

Circumnavigation of the continent on a motorcycle. This was "a case study of my actual job." I applied my digital strategy consulting skills to build a content project. The Australia series became my portfolio.

Loop 4 — The First Career Payoff

Vintage Rides

Hired as CMO directly because of my adventure portfolio + marketing skills. Results: +20% revenue year-over-year, +1,900% growth on social. The flywheel was spinning.

Loop 5 — Olympic Scale

Paris 2024 Olympics

Content Lead for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. 100M+ views. Not an adventure project, but a role I landed because of proven content expertise — expertise built through adventure projects.

Loop 6 — The Big Ride

Paris-Dakar

15,000km solo from Paris to Dakar. 60M+ views. Major brand partnerships. The biggest adventure project yet, funded and amplified by everything that came before.

Loop 7 — Today

Freelance

Marketing Director for 50+ brands. €20K revenue in my first full freelance month (January 2026). Still designing the next adventure. The flywheel keeps spinning.

"An entrepreneur is somebody who is taking bold risks, often doing things that have never been done before. And an adventurer is challenging themselves, often doing things that have never been done before. They're very closely related." — Richard Branson

Adventure is a vehicle for personal growth

Most people treat their passions as expensive hobbies separated from their "real" career. I believe that's backwards. The projects that excited me most taught me more than any classroom or office ever could. The trick isn't choosing between passion and career — it's designing a system where they're the same thing.
